⚽✨ Messi and Miami’s Unstoppable Streak Continues!
No matter how you look at it, Messi and Miami are on fire. They’re continuously hitting the back of the net, and a team that was previously underperforming is now dominating the scene. 🎉
After the buzz about Lionel Messi’s astounding five goals in his initial three matches with Inter Miami, soccer enthusiasts believed that at some point, his scoring spree would decrease. 🤷♂️
But that decrease was minimal. In the following three matches, Messi netted another four goals, bringing his total to an impressive nine goals in just six games. Even more noteworthy, Inter Miami, which had a mediocre performance prior to Messi’s arrival, now boasts six consecutive victories in the Leagues Cup tournament and has advanced to the final. 🏆🔥
To recap, Messi made a mark in Game 1 against Cruz Azul of Mexico. Entering the scene post halftime, he scored a game-winning goal deep into injury time, sealing a 2-1 victory. Then, he netted two goals in a 4-0 triumph over Atlanta and another two in a 3-1 victory against Orlando. 🎉🏟️
The winning streak faced a possible end in Dallas on Aug. 6. Messi initiated the scoring from afar, yet Miami trailed 3-1 an hour into the game and 4-2 with a mere 10 minutes remaining. But then, Messi showcased his signature moves, scoring twice on free kicks – the latter tying the game. This led to a penalty shootout, where Messi once again took center stage, scoring for Miami. 🚀⚽
He then continued his streak, scoring the inaugural goal in a 4-0 defeat of Charlotte in the quarterfinals.
In the semi-finals in Philadelphia, Messi stunned the audience with a long-range goal, a shot so unexpected that both the audience and the defense were caught off guard. The match concluded with Miami reigning supreme at 4-1. 💪🥅
With six games under his belt, Messi’s current scoring rate is a jaw-dropping 1.5 goals per game. In comparison, last season’s top scorer in the M.L.S., Hany Mukhtar, averaged 0.7 goals per game, and even the renowned Erling Haaland had a 1.0 average in the Premier League.
Yet Messi, throughout his career, has shattered expectations. During his tenure with Barcelona, he averaged 1.35 and 1.44 goals per game in specific seasons. Today, he’s surpassing those benchmarks. 🌟
While Messi’s achievements are front and center, there’s another noteworthy narrative. Which is more surprising? An all-time great player delivering exceptional performances or a previously underperforming team suddenly securing consistent wins? Before Messi’s entry, Miami’s record was unimpressive. Now, they’ve netted 21 goals in the Leagues Cup and only conceded seven. 🤯
Moreover, Inter Miami bolstered their squad by signing two of Messi’s former Barcelona teammates – Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, with the latter already making significant contributions. Robert Taylor, a Finnish player, has also been shining since Messi’s arrival, with notable goals and assists. But ultimately, the spotlight remains on Messi. 🌪️
Inter Miami is set to face Nashville this Saturday night, and many anticipate a win for Miami. But the intrigue doesn’t end there.
Following Saturday’s match, Messi and Miami are slated to return to the M.L.S. regular season on Aug. 26. Given their current standings, their playoff hopes seem bleak. However, with Messi in the lineup, anything seems possible. The odds makers seem to agree, currently placing Miami as the third favorite to win the M.L.S. at 7-1 odds. Only time will tell if they can turn the tide. ⏳👀
